Out of Office Auto-Replay
Out of Office Auto-Reply is a must for business users. I love the new look and am wanting to use the new Outlook, but until the auto-reply feature is available, I can't use it.

Love the new MyDay but would be even better if in Day View an empty day auto closed the panel and visa-versa.

Images load in preview pane, no option to turn off
Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't appear to be a way to turn off auto-image loading, which is a security risk. Can this be re-enabled?

Unread Emails Filter Button in Toolbar
I am loving the new look of Outlook for Mac. I think it's a long-overdue overhaul to the interface. The team has done a great job and I'm getting used to the new interface. One small ask for the development team...
Please add a button/option to the toolbar (along with reply, reply all, forward, forward as attachment... etc.) that will allow email to be filtered to Unread Emails only. That would be a huge help. I LOVE that feature in Outlook for iOS.
4 votesThanks for the feedback. The unread filter is now in the message list header (top right button with filters and sorts). We’ll evaluate whether to also include filters in the Toolbar

Copy paste from calendar items like in Outlook for Windows would be great to have as well in Outlook for Mac.

Font size choices
There is currently one font size choice setting in Outlook. Please add options for font sizes for the mail index, mail body, etc. Changing the size for the index will make the font size in the mail messages too large or too small, depending on the setting.

Unified inbox as default launching view
We know that the unified inbox is coming back but it's really important that we can set it as the default view when Outlook in launching.
This feature is really simple but very important. It was missing from the last Outlook on Mac.
Please. Add it.

Fix quick creating new event in Calendar
When clicking button for 'New Event' upper left corner, all event features are available, and default settings from Preferences are followed. However if you double click on a time in the calendar to create a new event, the options are limited (unable to set status as 'Tentative', unable to set Reminder which is stuck at 15 minutes by default--not respecting the Preferences.

every time you switch from one folder to the other, it takes you to the latest email and not to the one which you have been working earlier
switch between folders faster without having to scroll down to your last email.

Allow for creation of smart mailboxes in new Outlook for mac.
"New Outlook" appears to not have smart folders. I have critical uses for this.

Create an option to duplicate calendar events
This has long been a feature of 3rd party apps like Fantastical and I don't understand why Outlook doesn't have it yet. It's such a no-brainer and so handy. Right-click an event | Duplicate.

Re: new email window – toolbar customization & refinements
Would love to be able to customize the toolbar in the New Email window, and/or make collapsible sections as an option. Additionally, some currently available tool buttons and labeling could you some refinements. A few thoughts:
When the new email window is smaller, the toolbar is cropped from the right side.
Many of the tools that take up a lot of toolbar real estate have commonly known key commands (say copy, paste, bold, italic), and it would be nice to hide them.
Add-ins themselves are always cropped when the window is a smaller size, since they're historically placed way over…

Access folders with the left sidebar collapsed
I like having the left sidebar collapsed as it reduces wasted screen real estate. However, I occasionally need to access other folders like Sent, Archived, etc which means I have to collapse and expand this sidebar every time to see those items. It would be great to have another method of switching folders while keeping this sidebar collapsed.
Note: this should also apply to calendars, people, notes, and tasks.
